It's time East Coast friends and readers. The Aether Union Garage Urban Escape is back and ready to leave the crazy streets of New York City to the more tranquil surroundings of New York State.

We've teamed up again with Aether Apparel to give away a pair of tickets for this year's NY event. So if you're located in, around, near or are willing to get your hind-side out to the meeting point by 7:00 AM then be sure to enter. Remember you'll have to find you're own way to the starting point.

If you can't, won't or aren't able to make the event don't worry. We have special giveaway lined up for you following the event on May 3rd.
